I'm trying to load a movie (level3sec1.swf) into main.swi, menu button2, using the following code. The unloadMovieNum(3) statement is intended to remove any movie that would be playing on (release).

on (release) {

unloadMovieNum(3);
tellTarget (_root.Control) {
gotoAndPlay("section2");
loadMovieNum("level3sec1.swf",3);

}
}

The movie loads and plays just like it should, except the template animation that should slide to the right at that point remains in the "left" position (as it is in the "home" position).

What can I do to get the animation to slide to the right and then play my level3sec1.swf?

...you don't have to use "unloadMovie(3)" - because whatever is on that level will get replaced by "level3sec1.swf".

I removed unloadMovieNum,3. The camera lens animation still will not move to the right side of the screen. Is this yet another problem with using SWISHMax2?

...nothing to do with SM2 - if you load into a "Level" it will always load the external swf into the top-left corner better to use a "MovieClip" as a container and place it where you want the movie to appear...

Thanks, Wolf--I will keep that in mind.

As you probably have noticed in my other replies, my approach to all of this seems to be going flawlessly. I will keep my fingers crossed.
